Prospective Students

I am always keen to work with highly motivated and talented PhD and Masters by Research students. If you are interested in pursuing research under my supervision, please email me with a brief introduction, your CV, and a summary of your research interests.

Strong applicants typically have a background in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or a related discipline. While not mandatory, having one or two publications in reputable Computer Science or Software Engineering conferences or journals will strengthen your application.

Below are several indicative research themes. These are not exhaustive, and I welcome proposals that align with my broader research interests.
